May 29: Lagos State PDP salutes Lagosians for their resilience

May 29 marks another remembrance of the day Nigeria transited from military rule to civilian rule in 1999.

As we mark yet another transition today, we in the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wish to salute the people of Lagos for their resilience, courage and endurance over the years.

While we will not go into the details of what transpired in the last 24 years, we as a party believe that nothing much will change in the state as the ruling APC appears not to have much to render for Lagosians.

We recall the years that the PDP was in power from 1999 to 2015 at the centre, those were perhaps the best moments in Nigeria, when the cost of living was relatively low when Nigerians could afford basic things of life, and the level of insecurity then was very very minimal.

However, whatever the nation is going through now will not take the shine off the celebration of the return to democracy by Nigeria.

We believe that May 29 of every year calls for retrospection and reflection by all Nigerians on what we need to do to get our nation to the Promised Land.

The time has come for all Lagosians to get involved in how the state is being run rather than allowing a few sets of people to continue determining the future of our dear state.

We must all join hands to build a Lagos can we be proud of, a State that harnesses her resources for the good of her people and that recognises the fact that the commonwealth of the state should be judiciously distributed among the mass of the people.

Democracy is meant to be an opportunity for people to enjoy a better life and for the state to be massively developed for the good of all.
